Radon Inspections
Radon Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes and pose serious health risks. At Cuyahoga Valley Inspections, we provide professional radon testing to help homeowners in the Akron/Cleveland Metro Area detect and address elevated radon levels. Since radon is odorless and invisible, testing is the only way to know if your home is at risk.
Long-term exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It seeps into homes through cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, and other entry points. Our radon testing services use state-of-the-art equipment to provide accurate results, ensuring you have the information needed to take action if necessary.
If high radon levels are detected, mitigation options are available to reduce the risk. Sealing foundation cracks and improving ventilation can significantly lower radon concentrations. We guide you through the process, helping you understand the best steps to protect your home and family.
Whether you’re buying a home or simply concerned about indoor air quality, radon testing is a crucial step in ensuring a safe living environment. Many real estate transactions now require radon testing, making it an essential service for both buyers and sellers.
Don’t take chances with radon exposure. Schedule a professional radon test with Cuyahoga Valley Inspections and take control of your indoor air quality today.
What to Expect from Your Inspection
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Cuyahoga Valley Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.
After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference. In addition, our home inspections include complementary floorplans.
